wow…the killers, an already shitty and terrible excuse for a band who does more posing than playing actual music covering a terrible song by a shitty 70's rock band that was the worst bookend to the decade that i can imagine…who fucking cares

Re: DANNYGLOVERSDICKBLOOD – You'll have to care, because now once again, we'll be subjected to listening to "hotel California" every 17.7 minutes every day, until we want to rupture our own eardrums. Don't know if you were a kid in the eighties, but that song was old when I came out of the womb. I knew the lyrics before entered this world. But alas! Ministry, Black Flag, NIN, Front 242, Nietzerebb- all came along to drown out the sound. My mind had bad thoughts about the Killers for a minute there.

Re: DANNYGLOVERSDICKBLOOD – what rock did you climb from under douche?? and do something with that hair, coolio called he wants his hair back!! talk about unoriginal and I am sure the band could careless what the heck you think!!

Personally I like the Killers. I have always hated this song, original version or no but I give them credit for trying this with this style for this album.Personally, I think I like the Keane version of Under Pressure (that was also done for this record) a little better but I don't think this is "eardrum-bleeding"-ly bad like some of you seem to. I just think that is a bit much. No reason to fight or get angry with each other. It's just opinions and it is just a song.

Oh you funny people! It's a classic song that had a bit of a maker-over, enjoy it, feel it and sway to it for a little! Everything with you lot on here is always so negative - if Perez did not tell you about the song, you most would never have heard about the song or the album anyway. Silly people.

"Shitty" 70's rock band? Hotel California was and still is one of the greatest rock songs ever. People like you who go and post ignorant comments clearly do not know what proper rock music is.
This cover is never going to be brilliant, it sounds Mexican- but you have to hand it to the killers, its a pretty hard song to cover. But lets not focus on the negative- they have many brilliant songs like Mr Brightside, Human, Somebody Told Me and they actually play their own instruments. They are one of the few proper rock bands left.
And by the way, i "fucking" care. Have a nice day.

I'm not a very big fan of the Eagles, but Hotel California is an awesome song; more importantly, it was a huge hit when it came out and a lot of people still love it today. Now, perhaps I'm completely wrong, but the whole idea of remaking a song is to add your unique style to a traditional song in order to claim originality, introduce a new take on the original, or blow people's minds with your musical ability in making the song actually better than the original.

The Killers does none of this. Hotel California, remade, sounds stale, despite being played by a younger and fresher band. Their supposed "twist" on the original is not strong enough to make it sound any different– more than that, it actually makes the song sound more campy (and I didn't think that was possible). Lesson learned: next time we want to play with classic songs, go balls out or nothing. The Killers either played it safe or picked the wrong song to play with, and the result isn't good.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE! I did the makeup for one of their videos and these guys didn't even pay us! I guess they thought that they were doing us a favor by letting us just be in their presence. Douche bags…..didn't even offer us concert tickets or pose for a photo! Not cool at all!!!

I don't "hate" it, but I think he should have SUNG it more. At least the earlier verses felt like he was just going through the motions. It picks up a bit towards the end. Better there. But yeah, why the dull half-awake vibe for most of it?

That was the worst ever. I love the eagles, and I love Hotel California.. Leave that song to the people who originally sang it Killers. You sounded awful. stick to your pop rock or whatever it is you call your music.

WTF!? I was expecting much more, much better from these guys. I hope Don Henley kicks their asses! I almost lost my lunch listening to this crap. I wish all these groups would just let the classics be classics and come up with their own stuff. The Eagles had it right from the get go…don't need these young bucks fouling it up.
